How does the Process Purpose Model fit into the agile developers toolbox?
NN: In my opinion, one of the most important and valuable agile methods is frequent, prioritized delivery of working software. According to a Standish Research report, 64 percent of the functionality and features we develop are either rarely or never used. Agile teams can use the Process Purpose Model to identify some of this 64 percent and treat it as it should be treated. This not only reduces the amount of work we do on functionality and features that will not make a difference in the product, it also frees up our brains and time to work on the features and functions that will result in a product that helps us win in the marketplace. Teams and developers can use this model as they plan and deliver their iterations. It is just common sense.
